Tombstone Tuesday - Johns Hopkins

Johns Hopkins, founder of Johns Hopkins University and the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Born May 19, 1795 and died December 24, 1873. Buried in Green Mount Cemetery.

My husband's late father was a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Growing up Doug visited the campus with his father resulting in many happy memories and fascinating stories that have been passed to our children.

Mr. Hopkins was a very influential figure in early Baltimore history. His philanthropy not only created a world class teaching institution but also one of the most highly regarded hospitals in the world.

About Me

Hello to the world of blogging! I work for our local public library and several years ago we had a technology initiative. One of our assignments was to create a blog. So here I am learning about genealogy and blogging at the same time. The goal is to learn something every day, connect to people with similar interests, and have fun along the way!
